This is Germany's diplomacy and foreign policy. They officially criticize Russia, even calling for sanctions to be imposed on it. Simultaneously, this does not prevent them from accelerating the implementation of the controversial Nord Stream 2 offshore gas pipeline, sealing the best economic cooperation between Germany and Russia.
That should not be a huge surprise for those with limited knowledge of the history of the last century. In 1920 Germany actively supported the Soviet Union's invasion of Poland, and then again in 1939, both countries started World War2.
